Hi support, could you please advise if it is possible to access the images uploaded with directory listings to edit titles for proper SEO, I know this should be done before uploading but some listing get images uploaded without proper business title names. If possible please advise where to find the images. Cheers Tob
Hello Tob, You will get listing images in the WordPress directory wordpress\wp-content\uploads\... But i think it is not possible to edit title of those images. You can change titles for those images which you have uploaded through media library.
Thank you Nitesh, I was thinking that when a client added a listing, most will upload the images without thinking of giving them a proper business title, being able to edit the image titles or even add a correct 'alt tag' to the images after uploading would improve the SEO on the listings. Would it be possible to change the 'alt tags' on images that are uploaded via the listings page afterwards? Tob
Hi Mo, many thanks for the info. That is a great plugin edit all images in media file easy and quick. I am still trying to find a way to edit the title or even the 'alt' on images that are uploaded when clients add the images to their listing, they could be named 12345.jpeg or other. The listing images do not upload to the Media Image file but are held in the data base somewhere. Good for the listings SEO if could easily edit/title at least for alt, anyone any ideas very welcome. Cheers Tob
Thank you Rodger, excuse me if I am wrong on this, but the images that the client can add in the listing fields and would go on to have one featured in the slider, where they can add up to 5 images, these do not go into the Media folder if I am correct. I was thinking when a client would upload 5 images they would not bother to title correctly and was looking to find a way if it is possible to even set the 'alt' on them, it is bound to help SEO as 'alt' is important. Hope you understand me Tob
I understand. I don't know if Google rewards/punishes if alt tags are missing from images in slider. According to Yoast analysis, image in the text field is most important since it is surrounded by relevant text. Agree that option to edit slider images would be bonus, although I'd rather see micro data for reviews to appear in search first. I think that's more important. I've also got my dev working on changing the "contact This Business" green button that appears on smaller screens with page link to web form (useless) changed to link to "click to call" and we're also adding another dif colored button below it for "Get Directions". Those are the 2 core features needed for mobile. Sorry to deviate from thread
Thank you Rodger, you are a wise man, good thinking on the priorities, it may be that the effect of not having the 'alt' tags is not as important and especially unless it they could be edited quickly and easily for large numbers of listing in future, then the benefits would be small compared to extra work. Your idea on, Quote: changing the "contact This Business" green button that appears on smaller screens with page link to web form (useless) changed to link to "click to call" and we're also adding another dif colored button below it for "Get Directions" This is a very sensible and necessary feature you are adding as this directory selling point is the mobile response, the chances are that 90% of viewings on listings will be from a mobile device, thank you for sharing your insight for future possibilities. Appreciate it! Tob
